Does Illinois win the West?

Like NW last year, surprise a lot of the experts

 

[Catnap22]

Yes-I think Illinois is a legit national title contender

Illini vs. Bama for the Natty fur shur. Book it!

I had money on NW winning the conference last year. Hedged during the title game and came out waaaaayyy ahead. I just put $20 on Illinois to win the conference just in case. $20 wins $4,000. I’m not confident in that bet at all, btw.

They're dogshit, we're worse.

There is a reason we are the homecoming game for several teams.

 

[jteten]

No, not even close. Stop it.

 

[steinek11]

No. Get serious. It goes like this:

Iowa
Wisconsin
Northwestern
Minnesota
Illinois
Purdue
Nebraska

Top may change a bit, but I nailed the bottom 3.

Is there a way we can just schedule ourselves for Homecoming? I have a daughter at the university and would like her to experience a HC win at least one out of her 4-5 years in Lincoln.

I don't know, but at least they know how to hand off to a running back, complete a pass, and don't kill themselfs

Agree, OSU's run of B1G championships and their usual playoff spot is in big trouble. That was a national power that beat the Huskers today

There is talk of the AP voting Illinois national champions now and skipping all future polls.
